POWER GENERATING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

Japanese Patent JP2016073064

A

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power generating apparatus capable of reliably generating power when liquid flows.SOLUTION: A power generating apparatus 10 comprises: a plurality of power generation units 16 each having a fixed body 12 and a floating body 13: and a fuel tank 11. The fixed body 12 of the power generation unit 16 has a cylindrical member 17 and an electromagnetic coil 18 and the like, and is fixed to an inside surface of a side wall 11C of the fuel tank 11. An inner peripheral surface 24 of the cylindrical member 17 partitions a through-hole 21 penetrating in a vertical direction. The floating body 13 of the power generation unit 16 has a floating member 32 and a permanent magnet 33 in an integrated manner, and is stored in the through-hole 21 of the cylindrical member 17. The floating body 13 is afloat on fuel in the through-hole 21 of the cylindrical member 17 by buoyant force. When a liquid surface of the fuel in the through-hole 21 oscillates, the floating body 13 moves in a vertical direction with respect to the fixed body 12 in accordance with the oscillation of the liquid surface. When the permanent magnet 33 moves in a vertical direction with respect to the electromagnetic coil 18, the electromagnetic coil 18 generates power by electromagnetic induction in accordance with the vertical motion of the permanent magnet 33.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
